Day Job: One of those days where I was busy every minute but didn't get the first thing from my todo list done. I'm tired. Don't let anyone tell you writing isn't hard work. The weekend wore me down. Just the way you want to return from a three-day-weekend, right?

Cats: They're trying to decide if they should hate me for locking them in the guest room while I was at work today. It's really a hard decision to make since I'm also the one who gives them food.

Books: The end is in sight, dangit. Right there. Four chapters to go, and you want me to be witty? I just want to be done! My first-draft reader didn't get through all the first-drafts at our meeting tonight. We have to meet again tomorrow to discuss. That's actually a good thing, because not everyone will be reading this book all in one sitting. (I know Sarah, you will be. I'm reconciled to that.) So I'll be interested in what he remembers from the chapters he speed-read tonight and how the next ones flow. He liked the dream sequence. That's good. Dream sequences can be tricky.
